Thank you @CU_Kidney for the warm welcome. Truly enjoyed the discussions with research faculty #nephrology #AcademicMedicine

Home dialysis advocacy day and education booths at the dialysis unit, with @NephroWarriors as well as #NxStage champions Jimmie and Dawn Bates. Jimmie does #HomeHemodialysis in his RV and has traveled to almost all 50 states in the US!

We are pleased to announce that Travere Therapeutics @TravereRare is now supporting our efforts to raise awareness of #kidney and #cardiovascular health in Asian American populations and helping to educate our members on the latest in evidence-based treatments for kidney diseases

The UCI #HBCU Summer Program graduated 18 students this evening. Tashyia Harrison spent 6 weeks in our #Nephrology research lab and we are excited for her to continue toward a career in #Medicine !

Looking forward to sharing some of our research findings at @HarborKidney renal grand rounds today!

Please help @ASNKidney promote the highest quality care for patients with #KidneyDisease by taking action in support of 3 legislative priorities, relevant to #transplant and #Medicare funding (only takes 1 min!) asn-online.org/policy/lac.aspx

We are hiring! Looking for general and transplant #nephrologists to join our faculty in sunny southern California. We have a new hospital opening in a few months, and our #kidney transplant program is the fastest growing in California. DM if interested!

Happy Lunar New Year of the Wood Snake to members and friends of CATION+

@SaynaNorouzi Thank you for the excellent grand rounds today at @UCIkidney Kudos to your fellow who put together that summary slide of immunosuppression meds in pregnancy 🤩

@Kidneys1st ⭐️

I’ll be presenting at the @UCIrvine grand rounds today. I'm really excited to discuss this fascinating topic. Thank you for the invite. #Pregnancy #KidneyDisease @RMHUCINEPHRO So much to talk about. 😎 Great podcast @NephJC on this topic. @anuja_java 👌

UCI #KidneyTransplant program completed 222 kidney transplants in calendar year 2024, compared to 140 in 2023. This is 20% of the nation’s overall growth - there were 427 more transplants nationwide in 2024 compared to 2023. Congrats Drs. Reddy and Redfield and transplant team!

Congratulations to our 2025 nephrology fellows! #match #NephFellowship @UCIkidney @UCIrvineHealth @UCIMedSchool

UCI faculty and trainees luncheon at #KidneyWk2024

Another nice #KidneyWk2024 oral abstract from @VelezNephHepato Oschner group Kirsten Johnson highlights high prevalence of respiratory alkalosis in cirrhosis+AKI Reflexive dosing of bicarb when provider sees the low serum bicarb in setting of AKI- should be avoided

Important study from 16 Florida hospitals looking at fluid resuscitation strategies in >4,000 CKD/ESRD patients with sepsis. More conservative fluid boluses in anuric/oliguric patients assoc with less ICU admissions #KidneyWk2024

@AlanYuNeph I think there was a slide that broke this down, I didn’t get a pic of it. I hear the data will be published soon… certainly will need to look carefully at the patient characteristics

@Kidneys1st Did he differentiate acute from chronic hyponatremia? Not surprising that acute hyponatremia would do better with rapid correction.

Two oral abstracts on #hyponatremia correction rates #KidneyWk2024

William Da Silva examines data from Oschner ambulatory cohort n=24 older adults, correlation between hypoNa and low solute intake @VelezNephHepato #KidneyWk2024

Helpful algorithm from @swissnephro to assess etiology of hypoNa; calculator available online #KidneyWk2024

Dr. Ayus presents provocative data from Argentinian cohort n=2,000 where rapid correction of hypoNa associated with improved survival! >30% decrease in mortality… My brain is spinning #KidneyWk2024
